    <p>The Tests &amp; Quizzes tool may be set up to deliver surveys as well as other types of assessments. Survey question types may be added to a new or existing assessment. There are two types: a basic survey question and a matrix of choices survey question.</p>
<p><em>Tip: If you are delivering a survey, you may wish to set the assessment to <strong>anonymous</strong> when publishing the item, so that your survey responses will be gathered anonymously. See </em><a href="content.hlp?docId=howdoiviewandmodifythesettingsofanassessment"><em>How do I view and modify the settings of an assessment?</em></a><em> for more information on delivery options.</em></p>
